the week in review · Nov 2 – Nov 8, 2026
CachyOS 7.3.3-1 ships with EAC signing key
By RepoJournal · composed from the cited sources · human-reviewed weekly · methodology
The week also brought kernel 6.18.60 with Intel remapped NVMe support and UKI boot entries in systemd-boot-manager.
paru: 2.2.0-1 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
The AUR helper moves to 2.2.0, signed off by Eric Naim. It follows the yay search fix this period, so both pacman front ends on the repo now carry search changes.
CachyOS Linux 7.3.3-1 CachyOS/linux
Rebased from 7.3.1 to upstream 7.3.3, with the ACS override fixup carried in 7.3/cachy and the 7.2-rc1-poc-selector-v2.6.3 revert reapplied. This is the kernel the rest of the tree, including the BORE rebase and nvidia-470xx support, now targets.
CachyOS Linux 6.18.60-1 CachyOS/linux
Moves from 6.18.55 to 6.18.60 on 6.18/cachy, adding Intel remapped NVMe device support and an updated 6.18/fixes branch. Relevant if you run Intel NVMe hardware and were waiting on the remap patch.
systemd-boot-manager: Add support for UKI images CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
Lands alongside removal of the fallback boot options in the same tool. If you boot CachyOS from a systemd-boot menu, this is the change to read today.
CachyOS Linux 7.4-rc1-1 CachyOS/linux
The newest kernel line arrives at 7.4-rc1 with the 7.4/vesa-dsc-bpp branch applied, which reworks EDID VESA block parsing and MSO handling. Expect display-side churn; this is an rc, not a daily driver.
Add eac-status script CachyOS/CachyOS-Settings
The repo adds an eac-status script that reports Secure Boot, Setup Mode, TPM 2.0, and CA enrollment in one pass; the example output shows a failing check on /boot/vmlinuz. Useful as a pre-flight before you sign anything.
Changes in the team CachyOS/website
The website now reflects who has left the team; the note in the change says all named members left at their own will. Read it before you address reports or patches to a former maintainer.
yay: Add fix for uninterrupable package search (#1204) CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived
Alongside: BORE rebased onto 7.3, nvidia-470xx support for the 7.3 kernel, WSL image rebuilds for 7.3-era kernels and a generic image, paru and Cachy-Update bumps, python 3.14.9-1, and the rust/thinlto support commit in linux-cachyos.
